  • Good communication skills
  • Enthusiasm

What it involves

Helping to up skill young people and give them an insight into your industry.

Young people are told they can do ‘any’ career but often they don’t know what careers are available or what skills they need. There are 1000’s of jobs and all of them are important from construction work to solicitors.

Having ‘real’ business people come in and talk to young people through interactive activities (provided by ourselves) can help them develop key life skills and raise their aspirations.

Opportunities include:

  • Guess my job – with primary schools
  • In-school activities
  • Interview skills
  • Mock interview skills
  • Speed networking
